OPERATION

GENERAL OPERATION

Check the mower before each use to make
sure that no components are damaged
and that all power connections are secure.
If damage is present, replace damaged
components before further use.
■ Double check that the blade is properly
installed.
■ Always operate the mower with both hands
on the handle. Keep the handles dry so that
hands do not slip off.
■ Switch the product off immediately if you
are disturbed while working by other people
entering the working area. Always let the
product come to complete stop before
removing the grass collection bag.
■ Do not overwork yourself. Take regular
breaks to ensure you can concentrate on the
work and have full control over the mower.
